Default The new addition to my family...

So I went to the animal shelter on a whim today (I had today off) - and I found the sweetest girl.

She's older so no one wanted her and she was about to be um "transfered"
So - I adopted her

She's an Irish Setter Mix and is as sweet as can be - very quiet and loving but does have a drooling and gas issue

Here are some pictures of my new buddy...

So you named her Clancy? That is one lucky pooch, I bet she is quite happy to have been adopted! I look forward to more pics and pooch stories!

Congrats!

I'm not a dog person but she's cute (dog's seem to think I look really tasty and are forever trying to eat me). I am always very much glad to hear it when people go to the shelters and adopt older pets rather than going for the cuteness factor of a puppy or kitten. She has quite a bit of gray around the muzzle and that usually means no hope for a shelter pet. Which is a shame, because older animals still have a lot of love to give, if only people would give them a chance.

Though that is not a bad idea - I generally refer to dogs as poops as well as about a million other pet names

Thanks guys- I'm totally excited and she's a sweetheart - very happy and excited - so we went out to play - she was a little apprehensive about the snow - then she tried to run, slipped and slid on her face a few feet - didn't seem to phase her - and now we're chilling inside lol....

I didn't name her Clancy - her previous owner did - and that woman had her for four years - and then moved but couldn't take Clancy - so poor thing was just dropped at the shelter...she's really loving though and does the cute thumper thing with her leg when I pet her in the right spot

Oh, D, she's sooooooooooooooo SWEET! I just want to kiss her! She looks like she has a beautiful, kind temperament. You are very lucky, and so is she! Way to go on adopting an older dog.
P.S. - I LOVE the name Clancy.

So cute! Sounds like a great match. I commend you for getting an older dog from a shelter.

YAY! Good for you! Older dogs rock - all the love & affection, none of the puppy behaviors.

Better start working on a dog sitter for NOTS!
